Patented July 15, 1919.

Original application filed February 12, 1915, Serial No. 7,911. Divided and this application filed June 29,

1916, Serial No. 106,663.

17 b all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT WV. VAIL, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Rolling-Support for Barrels, of WlllCll the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a novel rolling support for a barrel, adapted to permit of speedily and conveniently rolling a loaded barrel on the ground, and to obviate the necessity of lifting the barrel.

This application is a division of my pending application for patent on a barrel, Serial No. 7,911, filed February 12, 1915.

I attain the objects of my invention by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side view of the barrel; Fig. 2 is a section on line ;2 of Fig. 1, looking down on the rolling support; Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view on line 33 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 is a detail sectional View on line 4-4 of Fig. 2.

Like numerals designate like parts throughout the views.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, I provide a suitable barrel 134, reinforced by suitable vertical supports or braces 135. I provide a ring 144 rigidly mounted over braces 135. Ring 144 is provided with an annular groove 145 in its outer face. Mounted over rigid ring 144 is a revoluble ring 143. Ring 143 is provided with a plurality of suitable handles 147, having their inner ends Renewed June 3, 1919.

Serial No. 301,540.

projecting into groove 145 of ring 144, as illustrated in F 3, thereby retaining rings 144 and 143 in juxtaposition while allowing ring 143 to revolve on ring 144. Handles 147 are mounted parallel with ring 143. I further provide suitable pins 146 mounted in ring 143 and having their inner ends projecting into groove 145 of ring 144 to retain ring 143 in place and to allow it to revolve on ring 144. I further provide the bottom of the barrel with a bevel portion 153, to facilitate the rolling of the barrel along the ground by means of the rolling support above described.

In operation the barrel is grasped by one or more of the handles 147, tilted, and rolled along on bevel portion 1.53, ring 143 being held stationary while the barrel and rigid ring 144 revolve.

\Vhat I claim is:

A barrel having a beveled bottom portion to permit of readily rolling when in tilted position, in combination with an annularly grooved ring rigidly mounted to the body of the barrel, a revoluble ring mounted thereover, means mounted in the revoluble ring and projecting into the grooved portion of the fixed ring for retaining the rings in revoluble relation, and handles attached to the revoluble ring.
